Lyrics
Look around, leave a light on
Inviting someone to stay connected or reachable despite challenges.
You're the sound that seeps through ice and all the broken window pieces
Being a significant presence even in difficult or fragmented situations.
And you were hoping to see me fall
Someone anticipates or desires the speaker's downfall.
And you were hoping to hear me fold, but I told you
The person expects the speaker to fail or give in, but the speaker resists.
I've got too much on my mind to hold onto you
The speaker has too many thoughts or concerns to maintain the relationship.
I've got too much
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of the speaker's thoughts.
But ghosts hate it when you shut the door
Ghosts, metaphorically representing unresolved issues or memories, dislike closure.
They want out, but they want you more
The unresolved issues crave freedom but also crave the person associated with them.
And you were hoping to see me fall
Repetition of the desire or expectation for the speaker's failure.
And you were hoping to hear me fold, but I told you
Reiteration that despite expectations, the speaker won't succumb to pressure.
I've got too much on my mind to hold onto you
Emphasizing the overwhelming thoughts preventing the relationship's continuation.
I've got too much
Restating the overwhelming mental burden.
But ghosts hate it when you shut the door
Reiteration that unresolved issues dislike closure.
They want out, but they want you more
The unresolved issues seek freedom but are intertwined with the individual.
Yeah, ghosts hate it when you shut the door
Repeated emphasis on the discomfort of unresolved issues when closure is sought.
They want out, but they want you more
-But ghosts hate it when you shut the door
-They want out, but they want you more
-Yeah, ghosts hate it when you shut the door
-They want out, but they want you more
Final emphasis on unresolved issues' desire for freedom yet attachment to the person.
